The options available to you when it comes to installing a new septic tank may surprise you. You may be unsure whether to go with a standard PVC or steel tank or maybe you want a concrete septic tank.
Septic tank customers often want to know that their tank will last for a long time and function efficiently without causing them many problems. Concrete septic tanks have this advantage, making them one of the most popular. Although plastic tanks may seem less expensive, they’re probably not best for the long term, and that’s why concrete septic tanks offer so many advantages, including:
Built Tougher
- Due to their natural rigidity and water tightness, concrete tanks are ideal for a wide range of applications, including septic tanks. Concrete septic tanks can last for many decades if good quality concrete is used. It also won't rust, nor is it subject to 'floating' or buoyancy problems affecting plastic tanks.
Concrete Septic Tanks Are Weighted
- Concrete tanks can be heavy, as with any concrete structure. This might be a disadvantage if you need to remove them, but the weight also means it won't be carried to the surface by soil movement or other outside factors.
Rust Free & Long-lasting
- Graham's Precast Concrete Products' septic tanks will not rust. There are parts in PVC tanks that will rust or fail, and steel tanks are also susceptible to rust or corrosion. Concrete tanks won't deteriorate like these other tanks, so they last longer.
- The fact that the Romans constructed concrete that has been impervious to the sea for centuries may surprise those looking into concrete septic tanks. If the Romans' concrete walls could endure storms for so long, a concrete septic tank can undoubtedly do the job for your business or home!
- While some polymers snap and crack, concrete is exceptionally durable and water-tight, which is why it is used to build houses, bridges, and dams.
No Risk Of Collapse
- PVC or steel tanks can sometimes collapse inwards when you pump material from them. The use of concrete septic tanks can avoid this problem, which can be expensive.
Higher Effluent Capacity
- Effluent is the term for the wastewater and filth that accumulate in a septic tank over time. It is necessary to pump out the septic tank if it fills up too quickly. Due to the size of concrete septic tanks, homeowners are much less likely to need to pump their tanks.
Non-toxic
- Concrete is an environmentally friendly form suitable for septic tanks of any size. Groundwater will not be affected by the product, and the soil surrounding it will not be poisoned, which is excellent for gardens.
Easy Installation
- Concrete is a reliable and fast installation material for septic tanks. In addition to providing high-quality installations,
Graham’s Precast Concrete Products can also assist you with managing your wastewater more effectively.
